Best AEO tools

There is no number one here, and any list that gives you one is guessing. What follows is every AEO and AI visibility tool that is actually operating, with the price each vendor publishes, the engines it names, and the date the page was read.

96 operating  |  35 free to start  |  4 listed elsewhere but not operating

Why there is no ranking. These tools query different engines, at different frequencies, on different prompt volumes. Two of them can disagree about the same brand on the same day and both be right. Nobody, including this directory, has run a controlled test across all 96. A ranking would be an opinion wearing a number.

So the cuts below are the ones that can be checked: what it costs, whether you can try it free, how many engines it names, and whether it exists at all.

Cheapest published entry price

Vendors that publish a number. The many that quote only after a demo call are not comparable on price and are not shown here.

Free to start

A standing free tier or a free one-off check. Time-limited trials do not count.

Most engines named

Engine counts are what the vendor names on its own site. Several gate the longer lists behind higher plans, which is noted on each entry.

Listed elsewhere, not operating

Products that still appear on published "best of" roundups but are not selling anything. Check these before you trust any list that recommends them.

Every operating tool

Ordered by cheapest published price, then free to start, then vendors publishing no price. Ties alphabetical. Nobody paid to appear.

Frequently asked questions

Are there any free AI visibility tools?
35 of the 96 operating tools can be used without paying: AI Labs Audit, AirOps, AmICited, Am I On AI, AthenaHQ, CheckThat.ai, Cheers, Cloro, Daydream, Geneo, Geoptie, Glara, Goodie, GrackerAI, HubSpot AI Search Grader, Knowatoa, Lexsis AI, LLM Pulse, LLMrefs, MaxAEO, Mentionova, Nimt.ai, OpenLens, Peekaboo, PromptRush, QuickSEO, Qwairy, RankScope, Riff Analytics, SE Ranking AI Toolkit, Siftly, Visby AI, Visiblie, Waikay, Yext Scout. That means a standing free tier or a free one-off check, not a time-limited trial.
How much do AI visibility tools cost?
40 vendors publish an entry price, running from $7.83 a month (Keyword.com) to $2292 a month (Visiblie). A further 52 publish no price at all and quote after a demo call.
Which AI visibility tools track ChatGPT?
89 tools name ChatGPT as a supported engine on their own site. Several gate the longer engine lists behind higher plans, which is noted on each entry.
What is AI visibility, and how is it different from AEO and GEO?
They are three names for the same job: measuring and improving how AI answer engines describe a brand. Answer Engine Optimisation and Generative Engine Optimisation are the two most common, and vendors use them interchangeably. This directory indexes tools by what they observably do rather than by which label they use.
What is an AI visibility score, and can you check yours free?
An AI visibility score is a vendor's own summary of how often and how favourably AI answers mention a brand, usually blending mention frequency, position and sentiment. Each vendor calculates it differently, so scores are not comparable between tools. 23 tools here run a free one-off check you can use without paying: AmICited, Am I On AI, CheckThat.ai, Cheers, Geoptie, Glara, Goodie, GrackerAI, HubSpot AI Search Grader, Knowatoa, Lexsis AI, LLM Pulse, MaxAEO, Mentionova, Peekaboo, PromptRush, QuickSEO, RankScope, Riff Analytics, SE Ranking AI Toolkit, Visby AI, Visiblie, Yext Scout.
What are the best AI visibility tools in 2026?
This index deliberately does not answer that, because a ranking nobody can check is worth nothing. Entries are ordered mechanically: cheapest published price first, then free to start, then vendors publishing no price, then anything no longer operating, ties alphabetical. No paid placement, no affiliate links, no ratings. Note that 4 products still recommended by other published lists are not operating at all: AI Product Rankings, Finseo, Hall, ReddGrow.
